Workshop Premise
The broad objective of the workshop is to showcase UIUC research in nanoelectronics, nanodevices, nanomaterials, and bionanotechnology applications.

The workshop will provide a forum for industry interactions and collaborations.  The workshop will bring together campus community (faculty, graduate and undergraduates, administration) and industry. 

The general framework of the Nanotechnology Workshop will be similar to those held on campus in May 2003 and 2004, which were well attended by industry and academia.  Some of those interactions have since then led to industry and cross-campus collaborations.

The workshop will bring together leading industry speakers and UIUC faculty engaged in cutting-edge research.  A workshop panel will discuss the roadmap to future direction of research and development.

Format:  The two-day workshop will be held on    May 5 and 6, 2005 at the prestigious Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The workshop program will include keynote speech, technical sessions, panel discussion, and poster sessions, in addition to lunch and dinner receptions, and grant-writing workshops.

Sponsors: University of Illinois Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, and the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology.

Plenary Session Speakers

SHARON SMITH, Lockheed Martin

                       

Dr. Sharon Smith is a Corporate Executive and Director, Advanced Technology, at Lockheed Martin’s Headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland.  She is responsible for research and technology initiatives, including independent research and development projects, university involvement, and various other R&D activities.  She is the prior chair of the Lockheed Martin Steering Group on Microsystems/MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) and is currently the chair of the Corporation’s Steering Group on Nanotechnology.

Dr. Smith has twenty-five years of experience in management, program management, engineering, and research and development at Eli Lilly and Company, IBM Corporation, Loral, and Lockheed Martin Corporation.  She has more than twenty-five technical publications and has given numerous technical presentations in the US and Europe. 

 

Dr. Smith obtained her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Indiana University,

M.S. from Purdue University, and B.S. from Indiana University.

 

DANIEL RADACK, DARPA

Dr. Daniel Radack joined the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) as a Program Manager in 1997. He is currently managing a number of MTO research programs in high performance semiconductor technologies.  His program interests are in high performance integrated electronics and nanotechnologies for defense applications. Prior to joining DARPA, he was with the Institute for Defense Analyses in Alexandria, Virginia. From 1990 to 1996, he was with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) working on development of advanced microelectronic technologies for future defense applications. From 1983 to 1987, he worked for the National Bureau of Standards (now NIST) in the Semiconductor Electronics Division where he developed dynamic test circuits and test structures for VLSI processes.  From 1989 to 1990, he was a member of the Research Faculty in the University of Maryland's Laboratory for Plasma Research working on gyrotons and investigating intense, relativistic electron beams. 

Dr. Radack obtained his Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park.

About Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory 

The Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory (MNTL) at the College of Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is one of the nation's largest and most sophisticated university-based facilities for semiconductor, nanotechnology, and biotechnology research. The laboratory is a user facility that is available for use by university and industry from across the nation. It contains over 8,000 square feet of class 100 and class 1000 clean room laboratory and state-of-the-art ultra-high-speed optical and electrical device and circuit measurements. The bionanosystems area focuses on utilizing the various technologies developed in materials,nanofabrication, devices, MEMS and NEMS to study and solve biological issues. Biomolecular flow patterns in nanoscale channels, integration of lasers onto biochips for real-time fluorescence study of bioreactions, and implantation of active devices in cells to study cellular biochemistry are examples of research activities being carried out. Currently, an $18 million expansion of the MNTL is underway, which would include bionanotechnology and additional space for researchers. The expansion is scheduled to complete in 2006.
